[jmoney-devel] filtering and sorting

As we should either fix or remove all features that are not working, I was wondering what everyone thought we should do with the 'Entries Filter' section. Do we get it working? The problem with this is that the balances would make no sense, and perhaps we should not be confusing the account entries list with search results. I find I usually don't want to restrict a search to a single account, hence why I wrote the search plug-in. What I would find useful is a 'find' feature, so I can jump to a date (scrolling up to a past date can be tedious), or jump to the first/last entry that matched a condition. In that case perhaps a 'Find in This Account... Ctrl+F' command is needed, and we may as well then include the other four menu items in the 'find' group in the Edit menu in the Eclipse IDE as they would all be applicable to JMoney.
Also sorting of the columns does not work, although there is still some code in there that attempts to support this. I personally don't really think this feature is worth implementing, but perhaps some people like seeing entries sorted in other ways.
Anyway, I was just wondering what others were interested in implementing or in seeing implemented in this area.
